Effect of Mn2+and GTPγS on insulin- and NSAID-mediated H 2 O 2 generation through a NADPH oxidase (NOX) system in isolated plasma membranes from rat adipocytes. Freshly prepared cell membranes were incubated in activation buffer supplemented with the following: none (panel a); 3 mM MnCl2 (panel b), or 10−5 M GTPγS (panel c). In each instance, 10−8 M insulin or 10−6 M of each of the selected NSAID were included in the incubation mixture. Assay of H2O2 was conducted as described in Experimental Procedures. Each bar represents the average ± Standard error (SE) of three independent experiments. *, p <0.05 no addition vs insulin or NSAID.
